Uchiha Madara: "The strongest Hokage? Hashirama, what do you think?"
Senju Hashirama: "...ahem, I'm actually not that strong."
In the ninja world, all the older ninjas rolled their eyes.
First Hokage, are you speaking against your will?
Everyone in the ninja world had grown up listening to the legends of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara!
Senju Tobirama: "Monkey, are you saying you're... stronger than my brother?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen: "I wouldn't dare to compare with him! This is a misunderstanding! The person who wrote the textbook was careless. I'll have it corrected immediately!"
So embarrassing!
Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to hide his face and run away. He never expected that his boast in the ninja school textbook would be scrutinized by the senior Hokages!
Senju Tobirama: "I understand the need to bolster one's authority as Hokage, but don't use my brother's name to do it."
Sarutobi Hiruzen: "I'll make sure it gets changed!"
Onoki: "Setting aside the 'strongest Hokage' claim, Sarutobi, you really altered the history books of the ninja school. Tsk tsk."
Fourth Raikage: "It seems like the Third Hokage is really past his prime, relying on such measures to maintain his authority."
Orochimaru: "Should I be grateful? After all, the part about my defection was entirely erased."
Kakashi remained silent, feeling betrayed. His father's achievements had been greatly downplayed in the history books.
Senju Tobirama: "It's normal to remove dishonorable details from the village's records... But monkey, you seem to have too many of those."
In the Pure Land, Tobirama couldn't help but complain.
From the death of Konoha's White Fang, to Orochimaru's defection, to the Uchiha genocide everything was a big deal!
So many elite forces didn't die in battle but were instead ruined by internal conflicts!
Senju Tobirama: "Monkey, you're too old. It's time to select a Fifth Hokage."
Sarutobi Hiruzen: "You're right, teacher. I'm already considering the next Hokage."
Hiruzen wiped the sweat from his forehead, relieved that this ordeal had almost passed.

[Back at the ninja school...]
[Sasuke furrowed his brows, deep in thought.]
[He sensed that something wasn't adding up.]
[White Fang's death, Yellow Flash becoming the Fourth Hokage, the Nine Tails Rebellion, Orochimaru's defection, the Uchiha massacre...]
[There seems to be a thread connecting these events!]
[If I can trace this line, I might be closer to the truth!]
[No matter how much he thought, however, Sasuke couldn't figure it out.]

Orochimaru clapped his hands: "This version of Uchiha Sasuke is quite the genius. He's on the trail of the truth!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned: "Orochimaru, stop spouting nonsense!"
Orochimaru smirked: "Is it nonsense, sensei? You know it best."
Orochimaru sneered inwardly. His teacher had been Hokage for far too long and was blinded by power.
From White Fang's death to the Uchiha massacre, the underlying cause was Hiruzen's desire to keep control over Konoha.
Orochimaru once thought his plan to bring down Konoha would give his teacher a graceful exit.
But now, with this livestream revealing everything, there would be no grace left for Hiruzen.

[Sasuke spent the rest of the morning reading, but he couldn't crack the mystery. His thoughts were interrupted by a growling stomach.]
[Only then did he realize he hadn't brought a lunch.]
[Mom used to make it for me...]
[I was in such a rush this morning, I didn't even think about preparing one.]
[Nearby, Yamanaka Ino noticed Sasuke's predicament. Her eyes lit up, and she approached with her lunch box.]
Ino: "Sasuke-kun, you didn't bring a bento? Want to share mine?"
[At the same time, Haruno Sakura rushed over.]
Sakura: "Sasuke-kun, you can have mine! I made all your favorite foods~"
[Sakura was secretly thrilled.]
[All her careful observations of Sasuke's food preferences had finally paid off!]
---
Naruto: "Damn it! I've never had Sakura's homemade bento!"
Ino: "Sakura, you're way too calculating!"
Sakura: "...It's called being prepared for opportunity!"
Inside, Sakura was screaming in embarrassment.
Why is this livestream showing this!?
Now I look like a total simp!

[Ding!]
[A quiz event has started.]
[Question: How will Uchiha Sasuke respond to the invitations from Haruno Sakura and Yamanaka Ino?]
